Prison Ministry

The prison ministry team that meets at Padombu asked me to provide a two-person team for ministry at Lobule prison this week because they are students and it is time for the first term exams.  The new pastor at St. John Birijaku has mentioned on a couple of occasions that he wanted to join the ministry in Lobule; he is from that area. 

We went and found that several prisoners have been recently transferred to Lobule prison, tripling the prison population.  They were happy to receive us. 

One of the prisoners was trying to translate to Lugbara for me, but he was struggling.  Pastor eventually took the role.  Many of the terms of the gospel are not part of everyday conversation, especially since we are discussing Mark chapter 16 and resurrection.
